Happy February! This week has been super busy but also very productive. Thinking through some changes with my designer for techbizgurl.com - mostly the home page but we are working on a couple of other things as well, so stay tuned for that.

I went to this branding workshop earlier this week and I believe the Tech Biz Gurl brand is really centered around this idea that everyone should be able to pursue their passions no matter their current circumstances because of technology. I think that’s why focusing on the side hustler with a day job appeals to me. So that I can show what’s possible even with a day job.

Speaking of that, I wrote a blog post (!!!) - see the first pick below. It’s all about making time to work on your side hustle. So I’m pretty happy about that (blog post 1 of 12 done yay!) and hope that it’s helpful for you. Definitely, leave a comment or send me a reply if you have any other tips or tricks for making more time to work on your blog or side hustle.

If you’ve started a blog or a side hustle and you are making money, you should keep that in mind when doing your taxes. Especially the expenses. Here are answers to questions you may be curious about like, “But I’m not a business, do I still have to pay taxes? (the answer is yes) or "What can I deduct?”

I hardly ever use Reddit and really thought it was a black hole that I’d never go down but this post is awesome. I even came up with a couple of blog post ideas following the strategies in here. So if you struggle (like me) to come up with blog ideas - give it a try!

Applications are open for our WiSTEM program which is all helping women tech entrepreneurs to the next level. 12-week program that kicks off in March. Criteria: Female founder with a tech-enabled company. If that’s you please apply. And I would love it if you could help spread the word.
